TRUCIDATUM FIDEM (harvesters of faith)ALSO KNOWN AS: 'void touched', Observers, 'those of the farthest' in extinct languages.ORIGIN: UNKNOWN; what they call the 'Vur Fhuard'; an area that can't be fully defined as a realm, black hole, planet, or dimension — yet appears to have traits of all of these.DISPOSITION: isolationist, reserved, forward, blunt.DIET: Complex 'energy' feeders with no real digestive system. subsist on 'lifeforce', 'divinity', radiation, etc. Sometimes flesh, blood, and inoganics for mineral replacement.

- >100 is a babe or 'rhaskif'
- >1,000 years is a young adult.
- 50,000 years is considered mature by their standards.
- a million years considered an elder.
- a billion or more years is grounds for 'antediluvian' or 'overseer' status.SUBSPECIES: Only one subspecies has branched from Vhrosevphæls; the Nthulvar. It is unknown if they truly are biologically a subspecies or just a separate 'genetic makeup'.PAIN TOLERANCE: Cognitive insensitivity; hardly felt except in extreme cases. Vhrosevphæls have been seen to lose complete limbs or sustain cranial damage before regenerating; this is the only time they have shown a response to pain albeit muted.COMMUNICATION STYLE: visual display. auditory vocalizations. tactile touches. seismic or vibration sensing. (native language is auditorily dangerous due to frequency and potency.)ACTIVE-SLEEP CYCLE: Sleep is unnecessary unless for healing, sickness, time passing, or stress. generally nocturnal / crepuscular.NATURAL ENVIRONMENTAL NICHE: Volcanic and seismic rifts with barren plains. Metamorphic and igneous rock mountains and cliffs. Little to no water or flora. Cold cave systems. Temperature extremes in cold and heat.

regarded as entities of fable, vhrosevphæls are primordial, immortal beings of an unknown or esoteric origin. they do not fully fit the definition of many of their comparisons [ aliens, liches, demons, eldritch, cryptids, divine entities, gods, etc. ], yet avidly take on these definitions with great amusement to the fear they stoke.vhrosevphæls are shapeshifters who easily assimilate and can hide within any space with ease, often establishing themselves in administrative or spiritual positions as a means to slowly change, guide, or destroy a society, or sometimes observe for information and entertainment. they are often considered a myth to be used as horror or cautionary tales and have involved themselves in history many times over through disasters, slayings, and scientific advancements.it is gathered at the bare minimum that they live a generally meritocratic and isolationist nature. their authoritative ministry is known as 'the synod' and is split into many factions or 'sects' that perform specified duties for their society. whether or not this is factual is unknown.vhrosevphæls are not fond of gods or divinity, as some event in their history caused them to actively see gods, kings, and religion as a farce and oppressive force to individuals. they are known to involve themselves in other species' and races' histories to destroy what they perceive as tyranny or oppressive forces. they openly devour gods and other supernatural / divine beings as a form of sustenance. i know what you are looking for.

vhrosevphæls are considered to use what some regard as 'magic' to bend energy to their will. they are capable of all elements, even soul and miasmatic. the use of these is very give-and-take. few master a branch without consequence.they usually only appear to those who they take great interest in and are seen as an ill omen or harbingers of disaster. in times of need or war, they will make bargains or deals with leaders or societies for a heavy price. it is believed that demons learned their contractual agreements and binding seals from vhrosevphæls.many would consider them reptilian in physicality and they often agree to this, but in reality, their form is more comparable to being carved of stone or metal bound by energy. many of them sport horns, scales, ridges, and multiple limbs or eyes.their forms are fluid and not static. they tend to slowly morph and adapt to the species or environment they reside in. i.e. a vhrosevphæl may become more and more humanoid in form the more time it spends around them.many aspects of their biology and their speech are considered caustic or harmful. their blood is acidic and poisonous. some are venomous. their language pertains to an ancient tongue and is harmful to those that hear it. as such, vhrosevphæls defer to using a common tongue unless weaponizing their words.
